It’s been an interesting day for premium priced special editions. First Modern Warfare 2 hit 200 bucks, now The Beatles: Rock Band goes well over 300.
That’s right, the full bundle for The Beatles: Rock Band will cost AU$349, according to today’s listing on retailer JB Hi-Fi’s website. The price is the same for the PS3, Wii and Xbox 360 versions.
The standalone game disc is priced at $79 on PS3 and Xbox 360 and at $69 on Wii. Again, this is the JB Hi-Fi price. Both the disc and bundle will launch on September 9.
The Beatles: Rock Band bundle was first revealed back in April. Since then, we’ve seen Ringo’s drum kit, Paul’s Höfner bass, John’s Rickenbacker 325 guitar George’s Gretsch Duo Jet guitar.
Be warned though, the bundle only comes with the drum kit, bass and mics. The two extra Beatles themed guitars are sold separately, although no local price has yet been revealed. To complete the set, you may well be looking at forking out close to $600 for just one game.
